Abstract (en)

A hydrogen gas is supplied into a deposition chamber (10) accommodating a silicon sputter target (2) and a deposition target substrate (S), a high-frequency power is applied to the gas to generate plasma exhibiting H±/SiH* from 0.3 to 1.3 in the deposition chamber, and chemical sputtering is effected on the silicon sputter target (2) by the plasma to form a crystalline silicon thin film on the substrate (2). A crystalline silicon thin film of a good quality can be formed inexpensively and safely at a relatively low temperature.
